Movin'. Cheap prints!

I'm moving next month. Just to the other side of the town though, so it's not really a biggie in itself. I'm trying to get rid of excess baggage by selling stuff I don't need. I noticed the bunch of old prints of my art I ordered from dA couple years back, but never sold.

SO! I dropped the prices of those prints to as low as it makes sense for me to sell them at (just need to get the money back I invested in ordering them). They're rather old stuff, but in good condition (exceptions are marked). I've kept them inside clean folders, so they're like brand spankin' new, even if the art isn't my latest production. xP

Check out my Discount Prints page for the list of the prints. Help out a moving artist by buying some of them, will ya? I'd appreciate it a lot, and it'd reduce the amount of stuff I have to move, and I'd get a few bucks to cover some of the moving expenses. :3 And you'd get some prints, of course.

The same Discount Prints page has all the info on shipping and payment options, so read that and if you're interested in any of the prints, then send me a note or reply here. Thanks. ^^

Oh, and obviously not much new art coming from me during the first half of next month, while I'm moving and arranging things.

Otakulous for iPhone!

Attention all iPhone users and fellow artists! This may be of interest to you!



For iPhone users
A new application named Otakulous has recently been made available at iTunes. Otakulous is for iPhones, and it's basically a wallpaper browsing application, which focuses on sexy anime/manga girls. Bikinis, lingerie, pin-ups and more! Some of my artworks are also available in Otakulous (including the logo and splash screen!), with my written permission. The application costs mere couple of bucks or so, so if you're interested in getting my and/or other artists' sexy art on your iPhone as wallpapers, or just to browse them, look up Otakulous at iTunes!

Otakulous at iTunes (this link requires iTunes installed)

For fellow artists
Do you draw sexy anime art? Would you like to share them in the above mentioned Otakulous application for people to use as wallpapers? Go to Otakulous.com to find more information about what is accepted and how you can submit your art. Not only will you get exposure, you may even get paid for the distribution rights if you provide a bunch of quality material!

Beach Babe Screen Saver, aka BBSS

MrNybbles has just finished the public release of the Beach Babe Screen Saver, which features the graphics I made for the Beach Babe Dress-up Fun game that was released last year. The screen saver is essentially the same graphics, except in a screen saver form, and it randomly selects items for the girl and displays the image for periods of time on the screen, just like your average screen saver. The odds at which items are selected, and the intervals at which the image is displayed can be customized as well.

You can find the BBSS download here:

Next year's calendar prints

Anyone who's interested in purchasing one of my calendar prints for 2010, the prints will be available in October, and not in September like before. This is because of dA, not me. I was hoping to get the 2010 versions on sale at the usual time in September, but looks like it's now in October.

For fans of MiSha, Erika and bikinis, there's the Bikini Calendar print, and for fans of lingerie and nudity, there's the Year of Lingerie calendar. You can find both in my galleries, and also on my userpage.

I'll probably post a reminder again sometime in October.


Art plans/news

Lots of delayed commissions and stuff. Will need to finish 'em at some point. O_o; Also working on a big secret project. Expect more info later this year. Means less art though, so don't expect many new submissions, aside from occasional commissions.

Summer. 'nuff said

So. Summer's being rather hot here in Finland too. I haven't had as much time for art stuff, since it's just too hot inside to sit still for more than couple of hours at a time. I've been outside a lot more, and doing other stuff, like practicing photography, to name one thing. I'm gonna try and finish the commissions I'm supposed to be working on soon though. Hopefully weather will cool down at some point. I wouldn't mind some rain again. x3

Aaaanyways.

How's everyone doing!?


Art plans/news

Commissions to be done. That's about it for now.

Boring Journal Look

My journal will look a bit more dull from now on, since I'm no longer subscribed. I decided to start boycotting the subscription after the 'critique discouraged' option was removed in the last update. Until now, I haven't heard a justifiable explanation for its removal. It could've just as well stayed, even with the new critique system in place, by making the submission process streamlined (eg. first choose yes/no/indifferent for critique, and if 'yes' then offer the new critique system's options, and if 'no', then you'd get the 'discouraged' tag. Simple as that.).

It was a preference option that I used all the time, mainly because I wanted to express that I'm not interested in critique, and wanted to save critics from the extra work of typing up stuff that I probably won't even read. Now dA seems to be going for this mindset of 'accept critique or STFU', with only advanced options for those who care for critique, and the last few things taken away from those that don't.

That's the way I see it. I'm not planning to subscribe myself again for the time being. The only things I really lose are browsing without ads and the journal features, like images and thumbnails. Sucks a bit, but I'd rather put my money on services that improve their features, not degrade them.


Earth Day Print Discounts

dA seems to be participating in the Earth Day event by donating 10% of print profits to The Nature Conservancy. I'm gonna play along and offer some prints for a discounted price. The offers are of specific print sizes, mentioned in the list below. Each item has been discounted by about $3.00-$4.00, larger sizes more, smaller sizes less. Offers last until the end of the month, even though the Earth Day participation ends on 25th. So, if you want to support the Earth Day, buy a print by 25th.

Discounted prints:
(M/G means Matte/Glossy finish, L means Lustre finish)

16x20" - Snowcatgirls - M/G: $25.90 - L: $30.90
16x24" - Bikini Tease - M/G: $25.90 - L: $30.90
20x20" - Winter Fairy - M/G: $22.90 - L: $27.90
20x24" - Garden Hose Gone Wild - M/G: $23.90 - L: $28.90
11x14" - 4th Lingerie Thingerie - M/G: $9.90 - L: $11.90


Now you may be seeing me as a hypocrit or being ironic, supporting dA's events after just ranting about their services. However, I'm just simply stopping supporting them via subscriptions, nothing more, nothing less. That's the effect of their decision about the 'critique discouraged' option. Other than that, life goes on and I'll be using dA like usual.


Commissions during summer

I will most likely be doing more commissions that usual during summer (around June-July), so if you're interested, contact me around that time (end of May at earliest). NOT earlier. I will just reply asking you to contact me at the end of May, so unless you've got something to ask about commissions in general, please wait until it's closer to June before contacting me about a commission. Thanks.


Art plans/news

Nothing really. I've got commissions lined up and not very many of my own projects that I'm interested in at the moment, so don't expect too much new stuff at this point.
